From the National Aegis.
WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON.

Hail to the Chief, Who in triumph advances.
England, awake! No longer be sleeping,
Awake from thy slumbers, and bright watch be keeping:
The wrongs of a nation call loud for redress,
Her banner unfurl,—and to victory press.
On hill-top and valley, from mountain and glen,
Let the voice of thy freemen re-echo again,
Tell that New England comes forward to save
dear-purchased rights that our forefathers gave.
The foes of our country are many and strong,
They've pressed a free people too much and too long;
The voice of that people shall soon be heard,
Above the shrill scream of their own native bird.

But it answers the bellowing thunder's call.
The voice of a people, oppressed and enslaved,
Shall tell to the foe that our country is saved.
And it ne'er shall be said that New England
in vain
Gave her free banner to float on the blast,
Like others are flying through star-light and blue;
And the motto emblazoned is Tippecanoe!
Reader, her banner New England has shown:
Farmer of North Bend, she hails as her own,
One who will scatter oppression and wrong,
And restore her the peace she has strove for so long.
The deep voice of the nation
Accords in the loud acclamation,
From ocean to ocean, throughout our domains.
Farmer of North Bend, the Hero of Thames!
Farmer of North Bend,—the Hero of Thames
Re-echoes in joyful acclaims:
The people with laurels and garlands shall strew
Path to the White House, Old TIPPECANOE!

Worcester, April 30, 1840.
